Guido van Rossum <gu...@python.org> added the comment:
@Antoine: I can sort of see why you consider the small example a red herring, since it mixes threads and fork. Nevertheless, a simpler version (not using an executor) would probably work just fine? It's the edge cases where the mixture becomes explosive. So I still think there's something that could be improved in ThreadPoolExecutor. @Elad: Your script contains a bug (there is no definition of 'exec_fn'). But anything that returns or raises from the child process does indeed hang. Since I can repro this on macOS I do QNX is a red herring here. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39763> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
